Something New

I've often said that hardly a week goes by that I don't see something in this trade that I hadn't before. Yesterday, I had a call from a customer where their hunting riffle accidentally discharged while cleaning it and went through the boiler room wall. No one was hurt, thank God, but the Taco panel did get wounded. See the pics.

You can choose to do what you want, but you cannot choose the consequences.

I was a tech down at Ft Benning in the sixties, we got a call that an amplifier was out at one of the ranges. I put a spare in the truck and took a drive out to the range.

When I got out there i climbed up the ladder to the range control tower to look at the amplifier. When I pulled it off the shelf I found a bullet hole in the shelf and a 7.62MM shell lodged in the power transformer. The range control offices (SFC) was somewhat upset when I showed him the amp because it happened as he was climbing the ladder to the tower, all he knew was that the amp stopped working while he was climbing the tower. The tower was behind the line of fire so it was kind of interesting that a bullet ended up there.

I've always assumed any gun I handle is loaded and that there might be a shell in the chamber.
